West Philadelphia native Leonard Chester will be speaking!

After his mother was deported, Leonard was raised by his grandmother, who did all she could to raise seven children with minimal support. When Leonard was a junior in high school, she passed away, and he realized that it was time to take his life more seriously.

Come here more about his journey in overcoming adversity, and how education helped him create a vision and a path for his future.
